| Abstract |
Contemporary architecture as a text holds two attitudes corresponding to structuralism and post- structuralism. One is the text of structuralism explained as its internal relations, in other words its structure. This attitude underlines internal structural analysis of text that intercepts all the relations to receptionists. The other is the text of post-structuralism that emphasizes??receptionists and their contexts. What this attitude retains is the fact that an interpretation of architectural text is an instance of event. Although the event is characterized by openings, possibilities and indeterminacies, it is temporal and sliding. Therefore, this paper proposes the architectural text as the dialectic of both attitudes in terms of Paul Ricoeur's interpretation theory, "the live metaphor". The text as "the live metaphor" implies the "threefold mimesis" that indicates prefiguration(mimesisⅠ), configuration (mimesisⅡ), refiguration(mimesisⅢ). Therefore, this paper attempts to interpret the architectural texts with "the threefold mimesis" to suggest a positive direction for contemporary architecture to pursue. |
